Fans are invited to attend Wednesday’s official fighter weigh-ins and joint press conference for Bellator 16.

The fan and media event takes place Wednesday at the Kansas City Live! stage at the Kansas City Power & Light District and begins at 8 p.m. CT (local time).

The Kansas City Power & Light District also hosts Thursday’s Bellator 16 event, which features a televised main card of four opening-round middleweight tournament bouts. The event airs live on FOX Sports Net.

Bellator 16 is the fourth show of the organization’s 12-week second season, which commenced earlier this month. In addition to FSN, the events air in highlights packages on Saturday nights on NBC, Telemundo and mun2.

While the season’s first three events saw semifinalists advance in Bellator’s featherweight, lightweight and welterweight divisions, Bellator 16 marks the first appearance of the tournament’s eight middleweight fighters.

The eight-man field was completed earlier this week with the official addition of Russian standout Alexander Shlemenko to the tournament bracket
